## What it is
iD is a browser-based OpenStreetMap editor written in JavaScript, using D3.js for rendering map data. It is the default editor on openstreetmap.org, designed to make basic map editing simple and safe for newcomers.

## Use cases
- edit OpenStreetMap maps in a browser
- add or fix buildings, roads, and POIs on OSM
- onboard new mappers to OpenStreetMap
- embed an OSM editor into a web app
- contribute to open-source mapping tools

## When to choose
- you want a beginner-friendly OpenStreetMap editor that runs in any modern browser
- you need the default, actively maintained OSM editing experience
- you want to embed a lightweight OSM editor in your own site

## When to avoid
- you need advanced editing features like relation editing at scale or heavy validation - consider JOSM
- you need offline or desktop-native editing
- you are building a non-OSM GIS editing tool
